BBC television stars Michael French, Sunetra Sarker and Pudsey, alongside Amanda Henderson and Suzanne Packer

On Wednesday 3rd October 2018, Charlie Ross and the team will be filming the auction for the BBC Children in Need Bargain Hunt special.

This year, stars of the BBC’s longest running medical drama, Casualty, have swapped their stethoscopes and scrubs for Bargain Hunt’s famous fleeces. On the red team are Sunetra Sarker and Michael French, who played Dr. Zoe Hanna and clinical lead Mr. Nick Jordan. Their opponents in blue are Suzanne Packer and Amanda Henderson aka nurses Tess Bateman and Robyn Miller.

The teams hope to make plenty of profit on the items bought at Ardingly Antiques and Collectors’ Fair, because every pound and penny made goes to BBC Children in Need. On the day auctioneer Catherine Southon will be wielding the gavel, and you can join in the fun by bidding live online for the teams’ items, as well as loads of extra lots including goodies donated by our presenters & experts, signed BBC merchandise and exclusive experiences.

To view the lots as well as take part in the auction, you just need to create a login on the-saleroom.com website and follow a simple registration process. If you log in on the day from 10.30am you can bid live online as the actual auction happens! Winning bidders will be notified after the sale ends, with all proceeds of course going to BBC Children in Need.

Comebacks are always hotly anticipated among fans, and with Casualty firing on all cylinders at the moment, we’ve been thinking about those characters who could, and really should, come back to the fold.

Granted, some of these are probably more plausible than others, but here are 10 faces we’d love to see back in the hustle and bustle of the ED…

1. Nick Jordan

Top of everyone’s comeback wish list has to be the one and only Nicky J. He was sensibly not killed off when actor Michael French decided to leave the show in 2012 (returning briefly in 2013), so the ED door is wide open for Jordan to reappear whenever he so wishes.

Jordan decided to swap Holby for the States five years ago after the death of his girlfriend Yvonne and his ardent fans have been missing him ever since. But given that his name does still pop up in conversation from time to time (he’s in Michigan, last we heard!), there have certainly been crazier ideas. However, with EastEnders viewers also longing for Michael to reprise his role as David Wicks too, who knows where he will be popping up next. The man is in high demand.
